What We Do

The laboratory is a teaching facility that offers students and faculty the chance to participate in labs and training exercises and workshops that are designed to help non-users begin using GIS software and existing users to expand their skills in such areas as understanding cartographic design and production, remote sensing and GPS. Short courses in GIS, MSc*/MPhil and Ph.D levels.

The RS/GIS lab carry out various research and educational projects in Ghana, including the mapping of selected institutions. The majority of the projects emphasize institutional development and capacity building. The services further include advisory services, institutional development, contract research and development, and contract training in order to make informed analysis and act as a decisional support tools in any organizational set up.

For effective analysis, display and communication of spatial and attribute information, the labs use high standard software. Some of these are ArcGIS, QuantumGIS, Envi, Erdas, Idrisi. These help in many fields of work including Agriculture, Crime, Hydrology, Education, Health, Climate, Population etc.
